What causes a uterine septum? Women with uterine septums are born with them. The congenital defect occurs when two small uteri fuse into one, as is normally the case, but fail to absorb the dividing interior wall. A womanâs uterus develops, including any abnormalities, while she is a fetus in her own motherâs uterus. Aside from potential infertility issues, a woman with a uterine septum will have no other symptoms. In fact, most women donât even know they have one until they have trouble conceiving and consult with a fertility doctor like Dr. Gehlbach.
